Many times on this Board we have recommended arrivees use porters to
move luggage thru the airport. When we landed 6/6, I noticed no porters
in the baggage area. We landed at the same time as a AIR CAN plane
and I thought all were busy elsewhere. We made out OK.
However an acquaintance had a harder time. She lives in Mexico and
had to use PVR rather than her regular airport because of booking
problems. When she arrived at the baggage area there was one porter
for the whole area. She literally kicked a large cardboard box thru the
shark tank to where her friends were waiting in the lobby. She was
amazed at the antics of the shanks at PVR. At her regular airport they
don't allowed to harass new arrivals. YET!!

Airport baggage porters
Glad to hear they are still available. We must have caught them at a
busy time and they were all helping other travellers.
busy time and they were all helping other travellers.
When I arrived in Mid Oct. my plane was delayed for 2 hrs and apparently all the porters went home except for one. He was so busy helping people who had tons of boxes and luggage, I did a great demonstration of my soccer playing skills with one of my suitcases, from the luggage carousel to the customs area. At the customs area I guess they felt sorry for me and waved me through, then I soccer kicked my suitcase all the way to the taxis. One of the timeshare sharks grabbed my suitcase and started to pull it along for me until I told him I didn't want his "free ride" and was going to catch a taxi.
That was the first time in all of my trips to PV that the porters had gone home.
